Bye Bye Stanley.

Stanley and the paintings have been delivered to the hall in order to be auctioned (silently) at tonight's school ball. He looked so handsome and nonchalant as he placed him carefully on the goods table. This is what I am working on for fun at the moment - little blossoms. I'll write more about these at a later date. Hugo snuggling up under his blanket watching Saturday morning cartoons.

And some fabric waiting for me to transform it into large cushion covers for an old couch. I might let that wait until next week though. Today the sewing machine will be busy making adaptations to my Bollywood outfit for tonight...

P.S. I have just been told that Stanley has already had the first bid of the auction by one of the mothers involved with setting up the hall. How exciting!

Oh Kate, I so wish I could come to your silent auction (although being silent could be a problem for me) I would buy Stanley and all your wonderful pictures with my imaginary money....the same money that has paid for my return flight to New Zealand and booked me a room in a luxury hotel nearby!!! Ahhh dreams!!!! Lots of love, Amanda xxx Love to your Mum too!

I'm sure all your goodies will go like hot-cakes! Love Stanley's designer jumper by the way. Very amused by your parents sin bin........... must admit the t-shirts did make me squirm slightly, and my sister and I would never do t-shirts like that for my parents! Love Vanessa xxx

About Me

I am an Australian living in New Zealand with my husband Jonno and children Archie and Hugo on a harbourside dairy farm. My great aunt and uncle taught me to embroider when I was eight and I have been obsessed with fabric and thread ever since. I now crochet, knit, paint, sew, print fabric, embroider, write and all sorts of other things that raises seratonin. I am also lucky enough to design projects for Simply Crochet UK . Thanks for stopping by!
